Introduction: Developmental anomalies and inflammations are common occurrences and are often associated with certain systemic conditions, such as diabetes, allergies, and anemia, as well as with harmful habits. The use of tobacco products and alcohol is frequently linked to changes on the tongue. Objective: This study aims to present the frequency of developmental anomalies and tongue inflammations in the student population of the fourth year at the Faculty of Dentistry in Sarajevo. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 50 participants, fourth-year students at the Faculty of Dentistry in Sarajevo. General anamnestic data were collected through a survey, including information on harmful habits such as cigarette smoking, hookah use, and alcohol consumption. A clinical examination of the oral cavity, focusing on the tongue, was performed for each participant, along with vitro-pression, vitro-adhesion tests, and native findings on Candida albicans. Results: The most common developmental anomaly was lingua plicata (4%). The most frequent tongue inflammation in our sample was lingua geographica (14%). Among the 6% of patients with developmental anomalies, 6% had a positive family history. Conclusion: A significant etiological factor is genetic predisposition. In our sample, among 6 participants with developmental anomalies, 6% had a positive family history. The most common etiological factors for the occurrence of developmental abnormalities and tongue inflammations were harmful habits such as cigarette smoking (20%) for over 5 years (14%) and hookah smoking (12%) for over 5 years.
Aim: The aim of the work is to examine the possibility of perception of dental aesthetics and satisfaction with one's own appearance in children of different ages. Materials and methods: In this research, 80 children, aged 3-16 years, participated, none of whom were orthodontic patients. The research consisted of an interview, in which the children were asked questions, and a drawing on the topic of what is a "beautiful and ugly" tooth for them. The questions were designed to reflect children's perception and attitude related to dental aesthetics, as well as satisfaction with their own appearance in the context of dental aesthetics. The drawings and answers were classified according to Piaget's classification of cognitive development, according to the age of the subjects. The questions for the parents were related to the parents' practice related to visits to the dentist and previous caries experience in children. Results: The results of the research showed that all respondents, regardless of gender and age, showed the ability to perceive and express their attitudes regarding the concepts of "beautiful" and "ugly" in the context of dental aesthetics, as well as to express their attitude, knowledge and satisfaction/dissatisfaction with one's own appearance. Conclusion: The research results suggest that the experience of beauty and the feelings associated with dental aesthetics are universal, independent of gender and age. Children have the ability to distinguish what they consider beautiful or ugly, regardless of age, and are able to clearly express attitudes related to satisfaction with their own appearance.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the accuracy of numerical methods by comparing their results with exact solutions for three support conditions: a simply supported beam, a <br />cantilever beam, and a beam fixed at both ends. Exact solutions were presented for all cases. Numerical results for the first three oscillation modes were obtained using ANSYS software and compared to the exact values.</p>
In their work, dentists, especially those in general dental practice, encounter patients of various ages and with different health conditions. Undoubtedly, the pediatric population is not excluded in this context, and special attention is paid to oncological patients in this population. Malignant diseases require a special approach in the field of dentistry, both through guidelines and preventive measures, as well as in cases where it is necessary to treat conditions or diseases resulting from oncology treatment or the disease itself. Oncological treatment consequences are also visible in the oral cavity, which becomes extremely sensitive during the course of treatment. Children, as oncological patients, can quickly transition from a relatively "healthy state" to a state characterized by significant changes in the oral cavity, which are conditions that are extremely difficult for children to endure. These changes manifest as complications such as oral mucositis, xerostomia, opportunistic infections, dental hypersensitivity, developmental disorders of the jaw structures, and GvHD. For complications during and after chemotherapy, the treatment is symptomatic, involving the implementation of a treatment protocol with clearly defined procedures for each complication, ranging from preventive brushing to the application of medication. Due to the increasing number of pediatric oncological patients, it is the dentist's task to understand the nature of malignant diseases, their basic characteristics, how to prevent the development of oral complications during and after oncological therapy, and how to treat any complications that may arise.
<p>Air bending is one of the most common methods of forming positions from sheet metal. It has found wide use due to the simplicity of the procedure and the possibility of bending any angle by controlling the movement of the upper tool (punch). With this procedure, it is possible to create very complex shapes that can have a large number of bends. <br />In order to form the developed form based on the given bent form, we must accurately determine the K-factor, which is the basic factor that defines the arrangement of the bent lines and the length of the piece in the developed form. There are many parameters that affect the K-factor, among others are the type and thickness of the material being bent. In this paper, it was analyzed whether, and to what extent, the choice of the bottom tool (V-die) affects the K-factor. In the experimental part, test pieces of the same width and length were bent on dies of different widths, and after required measurements and K-factor calculation, the magnitude of this influence was determined.</p>
The aim of this paper is to conduct a semantic analysis of humour in the anecdotes about Nasreddin Hodja collected and edited by Alija Isaković in 1984. Humour research in linguistics is becoming increasingly popular in BiH, but is naturally focused mainly on contemporary humour, wheth er this be jokes, political discourse or some other contemporary corpus. Through Victor Raskin’s semantic script theory of humour (SSTH), the paper examines whether the three basic categories of analysis are present in the selected examples from the corpus: 1) to which of the three basic classes do scripts in binary opposition belong; 2) which subcategory do they belong to; 3) whether they are part of common, restricted or individu al scripts. The examples are analysed within the classification of anecdotes offered by Isaković. Special attention is given in the analysis to each of the categories in an effort to recognise the reasons for such a grouping of humorous text. The examples under consideration have a structure that bears more resemblance to short jokes than to longer anecdotes. This is because in ideal circumstances, not always, Raskin’s semantic theory applies to the verbal humour of jokes, but also because of the limitations placed on the length of this text. This is why this text should be seen as merely a hint of the layers of humour in anecdotes that are a part of our cultural heritage, although they are directed at a character who reached our region through another culture.
The aim of this paper is to compare two geodetic methods - GNSS and aerial photogrammetry in the context of calculating the volumes of mineral resources in open-pit mines. The advantages and weaknesses of both methods are analyzed, as well as their impact on accuracy, efficiency, and costs. The results show that the GNSS method provides high accuracy on simpler and flatter terrains but demonstrates weaknesses on more complex terrains due to the approximation of the actual surface using breakpoints obtained by the GNSS method. The aerial photogrammetry method enables fast and efficient data collection and provides a detailed 3D model, making it particularly useful in hard-to-access or hazardous areas. Additionally, it significantly saves time during data collection and reduces the demand for geodetic professionals. The paper also compares volume calculation methods, emphasizing how technological advancements allow many software solutions to treat the 3D model of the subject area as a whole rather than as segments such as profiles, prisms, etc.
Introduction: The main aim of this research was to determine whether there are statistically significant correlations between TMG variables and jumping performance. Materials and Methods: Twenty-five healthy and physically active male students (age: 20.84 ± 0.99 years; body height: 179.46 ± 5.91 cm; body weight: 73.88 ± 6.43 kg) of the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education participated in this study. Radial displacement, contraction time and delay time of the m. vastus lateralis were collected to assess muscles’ contractile characteristics using tensiomyography (TMG). Additionally, squat jump and countermovement jump height were recorded using the Optojump system. Results: A very high, negative, statistically significant correlation between both power assessment variables and the radial displacement variable was found; more specifically, the cor-relation between CMJ and radial displacement amounted to r = -.80, p < .01, while for SJ and radial displacement the correlation amounted to r = -.73, p < .01. High, negative, statistically significant correlations (r = -.61 to -.69, p < .01) were achieved among all other variables. Conclusion: TMG parameters could successfully predict jumping performance in the studied sample of male students.
Museum development in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in the capital (Sarajevo), is an accompanying phenomenon of the overall tourism development. The paper aims to identify and valorise top museums in Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to comprehend tourism and museums growth features, including the tourist perceptions, which are important for sustainable museum and tourism planning. Tourism and museum expansion were investigated concurrently, with over 30,000 visitor reviews. The top museums were identified by analysing and evaluating reviews on popular travel information websites, taking into account the highest frequency and rating, and relying on the GIS mapping for their spatial visualisation. Statistical analysis and cartographic demonstration were conducted to determine the trends in museum and tourism development. The popularity of museums provides understanding visitors' interests since reviews are a vital component of destination marketing and planning for long-term development. Bosnia and Herzegovina, particularly its capital Sarajevo, exemplifies the cohesion of tourism and cultural (museum) evolution. Key attributes of popular national museums enhance comprehension of the cultural dimensions of tourism development. The National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina and war museums (Tunnel of Hope and Gallery 11/07/95) account for 50-90% of total excellent reviews, making them top museums in the country. Dark history (1992–1995) has a significant impact on museum settings, contributing to the building and preservation of the country's cultural identity while also promoting Sarajevo as a famous European city under th e former longest siege in modern European history and today's leading tourism and museum destination.
<p style="text-align: justify;">In this article we present the original Georgi-Glashow model with gauge and fermion sector derivation in order to show grand unified theory (GUT) through this model, but also to correlate and Standard Model (SM). One of the correlations reside in neutrino mass sector where both and Standard Model (SM) see neutrinos as massless particles. We will show that gauge sector yields twelve gauge bosons that will mediate proton decay within <i>.</i> Beside this, Georgi-Glashow model provides a basis for development and extrapolation in terms of reconstructing it to find viable neutrino mass mechanism that we present in our conclusion.</p>
This paper presents a hybrid multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) model that integrates the fuzzy DIBR II (Defining Interrelationships Between Ranked Criteria II) method with the MABAC (Multi-Attributive Border Approximation Area Comparison). The proposed model addresses the problem of selecting an appropriate flood protection method for Arilje, Republic of Serbia. Flooding in this region results from the overflow of the Veliki Rzav river, which lacks constructed water structures for flood protection. The study considers three alternative flood protection solutions: sand-filled bags, mobile freestanding plastic systems, and mobile freestanding metal systems. The fuzzy DIBR II method was used to define the weighting coefficients of the criteria within a group decision-making framework. Next, the MABAC method was applied to rank the proposed alternatives. Finally, the results were validated through sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis. The validation confirmed that the developed hybrid model produces stable and reliable results.
This paper on the lectisternium provides a detailed explanation of this ancient Roman ritual in its role as a key element in the religious and social practices of the Romans. The lectisternium was a ceremony in which the Romans prepared meals for their gods on specially arranged couches, creating the illusion of a divine presence at their feast. This ritual had a profound religious and social dimension, especially during times of crisis such as epidemics and wars, when the Romans prayed to their deities for mercy and protection. The ritual also promoted unity and solidarity among citizens, who opened the doors of their homes and temporarily set aside disagreements, thus bringing a conciliatory character to the ritual. Over time, as social and religious norms changed, the lectisternium gradually lost its significance, and was replaced with new rituals coinciding with the introduction of Christianity. The paper thus provides insight into the importance of this ritual in the context of Roman social and religious life, highlighting its role in shaping Roman social and religious structures.
In this paper, we present the main features of Dynamic Rapidly-exploring Generalized Bur Tree (DRGBT) algorithm, a sampling-based planner for dynamic environments. We provide a detailed time analysis and appropriate scheduling to facilitate a real-time operation. To this end, an extensive analysis is conducted to identify the time-critical routines and their dependence on the number of obstacles. Furthermore, information about the distance to obstacles is used to compute a structure called dynamic expanded bubble of free configuration space, which is then utilized to establish sufficient conditions for a guaranteed safe motion of the robot while satisfying all kinematic constraints. An extensive randomized simulation trial is conducted to compare the proposed algorithm to a competing state-of-the-art method. Finally, an experimental study on a real robot is carried out covering a variety of scenarios including those with human presence. The results show the effectiveness and feasibility of real-time execution of the proposed motion planning algorithm within a typical sensor-based arrangement, using cheap hardware and sequential architecture, without the necessity for GPUs or heavy parallelization.
